12Ghosts™ Silencer

What does it do for me?

Turning off UAC gives all programs full admin rights, even those that don't need
them, like your browser, email, or word editor. Better yet, set UAC to
silent mode.
In Silent Mode, you still work with the lower rights of a standard user. Programs
that are known to have security vulnerabilities (browser, email)
cannot harm your
system.

Still, we recommend lowering your guards only temporarily, for example when you
install older programs, work in Program Files, or configure system settings. This
smart little helper can turn UAC on again automatically, for example after 5 minutes
- set it and forget
it.

Other options include turning off security center
alerts (or some of them), as well as disable Secure Desktop Switch to prevent flicker and delays (while keeping the security
layer of UAC).
